Sorry, eating humble pie. I tried it and it did get rid of the error
message. However the string is still not being found, although it is there.
Is the type mismatch error a clue?


Can't do that. All I know is the string might be in there somewhere amongst
other strings, so sometimes it will start from 1, sometimes from 10, etc.
The string I am searching for is always 9 characters long.

Use this...
	Instr(StartFrom, TB1, "0900-0930",1)

Where StartFrom is a character number. For example, if you wished to search
your string 3 characters in from the left, you'd use '3'

If you're wanting to search from the beginning of the string, just enter 1.
Zero doesn't work.


	--->  If Instr(1, TB!, "0900-0930", 1) Then ...


HTH,
Craig.

Have written this:
if not instr(TB1, "0900-0930", 1) then .....
TB1 is a variable containing text
Am getting this error
Type mismatch: '[string: "0930-1000"]'
Have done a response.write, and sure enough the string is not being found,
although I know it is there.
What am I doing wrong?
